Stroller vs. Baby Carrier: When to Use Each
As a parent, one of the biggest questions you’ll face when heading out with your little one is: Should I use a stroller or a baby carrier? Both options have their perks, but knowing when to use each can make all the difference in comfort and convenience.
Whether you're strolling through the park, navigating a crowded airport, or running errands, choosing between a baby carrier vs. stroller depends on your needs, your baby's age, and your lifestyle. Let’s explore the benefits of both so you can decide what works best for your family. Emotional Benefits of Getting Outside

As I sit here 13 years after I first gave birth, I wonder if any mother is truly ever not postpartum.

Whether this is your first or fourth child, every time you give birth, every tiny human that calls you mama - irrevocably changes who you are from the inside out. The changes are emotional, physical, relational, and deeply personal. They unfold over time, and don’t always reveal themselves in a clear and obvious way. So, as we dive into the exploration of what postpartum intimacy is and how we can create nourishing space in our lives for sensual connection, we first have to acknowledge the places in us that have been changed forever.

How to Wash an Ergobaby Baby Carrier: Instructions & Tips
When your baby carrier is in daily use, it's bound to pick up spills, stains, and everyday messes. Whether it’s spit-up, snack mishaps, or a diaper emergency, keeping your Ergobaby carrier clean is key to maintaining its quality and comfort for both you and your baby.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to spot clean, machine wash, and properly maintain your carrier to keep it fresh and functional.
How often can I wash my carrier?
Ergobaby carriers are designed to be durable and easy to clean.
